Quicksilver 675OP — General Information
Do not operate this craft with an engine of rated power
greater than that posted on the capacity label. Do not
operate at maximum speed while in congested waterways,
or in weather or sea conditions of reduced visibility, high
winds or large waves. Reduce speed and wake as a courtesy
to others. Observe & obey speed limits and no wake zones.
Operator's Manual. Refer to the Engine Owner's Manual for operating instructions and warranty
information. The engines are warranted directly by Mercury, not by Quicksilver®.
15. Trailering
Quicksilver® does not offer a trailer for this boat, however, if you plan on purchasing one from
another vendor, please consider the following:
•
The trailer should have a center roller and keel guards which will help provide good support
for the keel.
•
Trailers with bunks provide a more even weight distribution.
•
The mass of your boat in trailering condition is 1606kg. This includes the weight of a fully
optioned boat along with full liquid loads. This does not include gear weight usually
associated with operating the vessel.
16. Strong Points
Cleats
Your boat comes equipped with five cleats, the two located on the bow, and the two located at the
stern are used to secure the boat to the dock while loading, unloading, or mooring. The fifth cleat is
installed on centerline aft of the anchor roller for tying off the rode when anchoring. The fifth cleat is
removed if the boat comes with a windlass.
Bow Eye / Stern Eye
Your boat includes a bow eye, which is used to haul and hold your boat onto a trailer. In addition,
there are two stern eyes, located on the transom, which are used as tie down points during trailering
the boat. The bow and stern eyes may be used for short term lifting of the boat only.
Towing
Quicksilver® does not recommend towing other boats, or being towed by other boats, unless it is
absolutely necessary. In the event that it becomes necessary for you to have your boat towed, a
professional company experienced in this type of operation is better equipped to handle this
situation.
It is the owner's/operators responsibility to ensure that
mooring lines, towing lines, anchor chains, anchor lines and
anchors are adequate for the vessel's intended use. Owners
should also consider what action will be necessary when
securing a tow line on board.
Use only the lifting points specified. Using the cleats for
lifting is dangerous and could cause serious injury or death.
Towing or being towed can lead to fatigue of the boat's
hardware and lines. Failure of any part can seriously injury
people or damage the boat. Do not stand directly in line
with the tow line. If the line were to break, it would "snap
back" causing injury or damage to everything in its path.
Always tow or be towed at a slow speed. Never exceed the
hull speed of a displacement craft when being towed.
